High Myopia
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
High myopia is a pronounced form of myopia, in which the difficulty seeing distant objects clearly is marked and is usually associated with an eye that is longer than usual.
Frequent symptoms: blurry vision at a distance, a need to move closer to objects, and, in some cases, greater sensitivity to certain changes in vision over time.
Why monitor it? Because of its high degree, follow-up of eye health is advisable to protect the internal structures of the eye.
Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist is the one who evaluates and follows up on high myopia; the optometrist can collaborate in measuring the prescription. If you notice that your distance vision is very limited, it is worth scheduling an eye exam.
